A 17' wooden kayak and matching paddle that are completely handcrafted using the traditional method of strip-built construction while integrating the highest quality of materials.
My contributions to the project: primary and secondary research, analysis on boat construction, ideation and conceptualization, 3D modeling using Rhinoceros for laser cutting ribs, pattern exploration, all parts of the building process and graphic communication for presentations during all stages of the design.
PLUSH TOYS
A collection of creative characters developed for multiple private labels and under the PetZone brand.
Co-leading the development, design, and manufacturing of multiple puzzle feeders. Two of the designs are currently patent-pending designs that were created alongside our design director Ryan Rutherford and my co-lead designer Caitilin Goetzel.
Feeding puzzles offer a way for owners to provide enrichment for their pets, encourage mental stimulation, and decrease overeating. Feeding puzzles can also make eating an interactive activity rather than just a source of nutrition. Our design are top sellers on Amazon, Target and Chewy.
